Wednesday, at 19:45, Newcastle United does not have an easy mission to move from Nottingham Forest in the League of England Cup. Both teams come after disappointing results, but ticked for encouraging championship. “Cotofenele” are favorites, although they do not have a special stake in the Cup, being more concerned with relegation. We do not rule out the possibility of a surprise qualification here!
From equilibrium we realize that Nottingham is not the sure victim, especially playing on his own ground on “City Ground”. The game comes after a busy weekend. Nottingham has worked hard to save a draw with Birmingham, home (2-2), as white-blares led 2-0 away in the last 15 minutes! Costel Pantilimon has been at Nottingham but he is not blazing, and his colleagues have saved Forest’s late two late goals, signed by Lolley (75) and Murphy (87). There will again be dangerous players on the ground, such as Courtani, Murphy and Cash, who may threaten Newcastle.
For Forest was the second 2-2 consecutive draw, after Wigan, and the white-reds remain a band for which the “GG” bet is something ordinary. In fact, Nottingham has received a goal in 4 of its last 5 games and Newcastle will have a chance. Rafa Benitez will replace the reserve holders in this match, but they will not miss Joselu and Kenedy, very good footballers, who can solve their own dangerous phases against the opponent. Newcastle comes after a 1-2 with Chelsea, on the field, which was decided by an autogol in the 87th minute! Otherwise, “cotofenele” would have earned a decent point with Chelsea, a very solid and dangerous team.
Nottingham has won 3-2 with Newcastle!
As a result, there are two teams with defense problems that are not yet 100% homogeneous, but who have a positive attitude and are more involved in goal games. Newcastle has received a goal in each of the last 5 games, with the exception of Cardiff (0-0). The two duels in the English Cup in 2017 and the final score was 2-2 after the regular time, for Nottingham to win 3-2 overtime, away! The last 4 direct matches had at least 3 goals scored: 3-2, 3-1, 2-1 and 4-3. He will be host to Jack Colback, a former Newcastle player who will have a personal vendetta with his former colleagues, and that will influence the fight in the middle.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.85
